Curriculum
At The Toddler House Learning Academy we provide our students with a developmentally
appropriate curriculum based on Louisiana standards. NAEYC, the National Association for the
Education of Young Children, defines developmentally appropriate curriculum as follows:
“NAEYC defines “developmentally appropriate practice” as methods that promote each child's
optimal development and learning through a strengths-based, play-based approach to joyful,
engaged learning.” We believe this to be the heart of our curriculum. Our weekly lesson plans
are developed through our students' interests and what grabs their attention. We love to study
themes that get them excited, interested and progress their natural cognitive development. We try
our best to meet every child’s individual cognitive and development level and encourage and
inspire them to continue to advance this growth.

0 months to 12 months old.
In the infant classroom, we follow a wonderful daily flow. No matter what your baby’s individual sleeping and eating schedule are, we always come together to make wonderful memories. We enjoy story time together, outside walks, learning circle time, sensory exploration, and creative art. We also enjoy our days learning lots of songs, reading wonderful stories, and interacting with our friends and teachers. We love discovering different textures, sizes of items,
and shapes. We love learning about our weekly themes like shapes, colors, animals, and people. Our little ones are always nurtured, cuddled, loved, and adored and whenever they need
something, we are there!

12 months to 24 months old.
In the toddler classroom, we explore anything and everything we possibly can. Our little ones love wandering around the classroom learning through the use of their senses. Our toddlers have a wonderful daily schedule of group time, outdoor play, meals and snacks, naptime, and the most important and fun time of the day, PLAYTIME! During our group time, we read books about transportation, family, and kindness, amongst many other subjects. We talk about our day, how we feel and what it means to be together in our bright and warm classroom. We enjoy our outdoor playtime and seeing the beautiful nature outside. Our weekly themes consist of exploring our homes, families, pets, and animals. Singing and playing our days away is what makes our
room so special!
Older Toddlers
Ages 2 to 3 years old.
Our older toddlers love to dance, sing and play. We inspire them to explore the world around them and learn something from everything they see. Socialization is very important to our older
toddlers as they begin to share, use their manners, and learn to take turns. In this age group, we begin to count numbers and have letter recognition. We enjoy singing our daily songs to teach us about the day of the week, the month, and the year. We love diving into our art projects and see what we can create with an abundance of materials. We enjoy watching our teachers do exciting science projects and love to watch the students guess what will happen and see their eyes full of surprise! Getting outside and playing on the playground is a part of our everyday schedule. We also enjoy walks around the neighborhood and putting a smile on our neighbors’ faces!
Preschool
This age group starts at 3 years old and prepares the students for kindergarten.
In this age group, we focus on our social-emotional growth and explore who we are as beautiful, unique individuals. We learn how to work together and how to conquer objectives by ourselves. We enjoy writing our names, learning to read, and exploring phonics. We enjoy extreme science
projects that make us say “WOW!” and we dive into our sensory bin which helps enhance the learning theme we are studying that week. We often have guest speakers and love exploring the community to supplement our learning. We get outside often to move our bodies and strengthen our fine and gross motor muscles. This age group helps to prepare our students for the next
grade, which is Kindergarten. Our little ones are well on their way to a successful journey into
the older ages!
What We Do & What We Believe
At The Toddler House Learning Academy, we believe each child has the potential to bring
something unique and special into the world. By having a respectful and caring bond with both the student and the family, we can create a strong foundation for a wonderful early childhood experience for our students. Through active exploration of the world around them, play, interaction with others, memorable experiences, and hands-on learning activities, our student’s development and growth occur every second of every day. We strive to have the utmost respect and love for all children who walk through our school’s doors. We are a family!
